Cytomegalovirus (CMV) blood DNA load, CMV retinitis progression, and occurrence of resistant CMV in patients with CMV retinitis.
BACKGROUND The amount of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in the blood (CMV load) may be a marker for detection of resistant CMV.METHODS. A total of 165 patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis had CMV load measurements (plasma and leukocyte) and cultures performed every 3 months; these measurements were correlated with CMV resistance to antiviral drugs and CMV retinitis progression (from masked readings ...
متن کاملMacular CMV retinitis: a case report.
PURPOSE Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common ocular opportunistic infection associated with AIDS. It usually affects the peripheral retina, sparing the macula. We describe an atypical CMV retinitis exclusively confined to the macula. METHODS A 43-year-old man with the diagnosis of AIDS developed a white retinal lesion confined to the macula of the right eye. Two weeks later, a m...
متن کاملManaging CMV retinitis in the developing world.
Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) is a major opportunistic complication of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( A I D S ) . In the developed world, prior to the availability of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), it was estimated that about 30% of patients with AIDS would develop CMVR during their lifetime. However, since the introduction of HAART, the incidence of CMVR has decli...
متن کاملIntravitreal ganciclovir in CMV retinitis: case report.
A case is reported of a 35-year-old male with established acquired immune deficiency syndrome who developed cytomegalovirus retinitis. When intravenous treatment with ganciclovir had to be withdrawn because of toxicity, one eye was treated successfully by intravitreal injections of the drug. After 15 weeks of intravitreal treatment this eye developed endophthalmitis.
متن کاملCytomegalovirus (CMV) resistance in patients with CMV retinitis and AIDS treated with oral or intravenous ganciclovir.
Treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis with oral ganciclovir results in relatively low plasma concentrations of drug, which theoretically could cause more frequent viral resistance compared with intravenous (iv) ganciclovir. By use of a plaque-reduction assay to quantify phenotypic sensitivity to ganciclovir, virus isolates were studied from patients with CMV retinitis participating in fo...
